June show at Cafe Bambino

This month I will be showing my ink pieces at my most local coffee shop, Cafe Bambino on 65th and 3rd in the Phinney/Ballard convergence zone we like to call Stumbletown. Apparently this has something to do with the amount of bars situated here currently and historically, but the story is told multiple ways so not sure what to believe. What I do know for sure is this cafe is visited and tended by some of the friendliest folks Seattle has to offer, so stop by, chat, get some coffee and check out the inks. There is a new character in the midst and a display props facelift so come see! Phinneywood Art walk show is Friday June 5th from 5 to 9 so join me there for some wine, cheese an art talk if you wish. See you there!

Paintings at All Aboard this May

This month my paintings will be in classy company amongst the stylish furnishings and antiques at All Aboard 2nd Hand on 3rd and 65th on the border of Phinney and Ballard. This is the sister shop of Cafe Bambino situated diagonally across the street, where my ink prints will be all June. Come see, check out the beautiful and conveniently affordable wares Andhi and Gretchen have collected and get some coffee from the lovely friendly Bambino baristas. This is my neighborhood so maybe you'll run into me. See you  there.

Inks and Prints at Neptune!

So it seems I have gotten out of the habit of posting my shows, but it has become my Spring resolution to correct this so I want to inform you all that my ink art is currently at the lovely Neptune Coffee on Greenwood Ave and 85th. 

You may also find me here on any given day, either fully engrossed in laptop world, distracting myself by prodding the baristas into conversation, or serving drinks from behind the counter myself as an occassional barista. If this is the case that you do find me here doing any of these things, feel free to strike up a conversation or look through the prints that I have in a basket on the counter. I would love to see you there. All prints of the ink art are $5, and prints of some of my paintings are available as well for $5 to $10. The ink art themselves will be at the shop till July 2012 and the prints will be around for as long as I'm around so stop by anytime. See you there!

 

Beautiful light, lights and church pews galore!

 

At Kirkland ZOKA this October!

 Yet again another cafe show, but this time it's a little more close to home, even if it actually is across the water. For all of October my art will be displayed at thedowntown Kirkland branch of my home away from home, ZOKA Coffee Roaster and Tea Co. For those who don't know when I'm not making art I'm often found dealing legal stimulants at the Greenlake branch of ZOKA in the Tangletown neighborhood, so I'm very happy to collide these two parts of my life in this beautiful space. If you haven't been there then you're missing out on a truly unique cafe environment. It's got that rare combination of clean and modern mixed with the coziness of real wood and warm natural light. The art looks beautiful there so go check it out. If you haven't been to Kirkland for awhile, or ever, check that out too because it's a really nice place with pocket roads and  good restaurnats and a waterfront. Then say hi to the lovely baristas who are always in a freakishly good mood and fun to chat with. Some new stuff this time too. Enjoy!

 

September Show at Cafe Vita!

This month I am honored to have my art up at Cafe Vita in Queen Anne. It's a really beautiful and unique space with some super friendly barista folk so come check it out and drink some of Seattle's favorite coffee. Prints of the work are available at the shop from $3 to $10.

Makeda Show Post Notes

 

So the Makeda Show has been wrapped up as July has passed and new months have come to host new artists, but I just wanted to showcase some snapshots I took of the space before the art came down to commemerate what was a fine show. The colors of the pieces matched up really well with the vibrant decor of the shop and the chandelier really added to the visual of the ink pieces, so I was really pleased with how it all came together.

I want to thank the owner of Makeda, Prashanthi Reddy for not only for letting me show and being so helpful, but for composing a beautiful cafe that was a joy to work with. If you haven't been, go to Makeda to meet lovely people and drink excellent coffee.

July Show at Makeda!

The whole month of July my art will be up at Makeda Coffee in Greenwood.




Come by and see live and in person some of the paintings and drawings featured here along with more of the old and new. This will be the ink drawings first exhibit so come see them hung in all their framed elaborate glory and enjoy some delicious coffee while at it. Makeda is a favorite of mine for both their well crafted espresso and their homey neighborhood environment so win, win all around.

Opening for Makeda Show 2nd Friday July 8th!

Come stop by on your way down your Greenwood Art Walk stroll.
Wine, cheese, coffee and conversation await you.
See you there!
